If only it was acceptable for our landscaping to be this kind of wild!

The mind is raw, full of energy, alive and hungry. It does not think in the way we were brought up to think – well-mannered, congenial.”

-Natalie Goldberg, Wild Mind

Expand your writing arsenal with SARK

sark_sww.jpgIf you haven’t been turned onto this color-full, play-full, fantastically SUCCULENT author yet, it’s time you made her acquaintance. SARK is an artist, a muse, a truth-sayer, and a celebrated author of more than a dozen highly-unique books – including the best-selling anthem-in-print, Succulent Wild Woman. Even if you’re the serious-type, give her a chance. She’ll change the way you look at things. Before you know it, you’ll be diving into your juicy creations with rabid, free-doodling delight.

On a personal note, I had the pleasure and honor of meeting SARK at a weekend workshop at The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. I am thrilled to say she is every bit as entertaining, inspiring, and authentic in real life.
